22.4 Performing Post-Update Tasks

After you start Novell Vibe 3.3, you can access your Vibe site as usual. However, you need to reset some aspects of the interface before you allow users to access the updated site. The interface reset affects only those definitions and templates that are included with the Vibe product. If you have created custom definitions and templates, they are unaffected by the interface reset.

22.4.1 Resetting Your Definitions

Various aspects of the Vibe interface have been redesigned and enhanced since Vibe 3.1. Some of these enhancements affect entries, folders, user profiles, and user workspaces. If you have made customizations to these areas of Vibe, you must reset these definitions in order to see the enhancements, as described in this section.

WARNING:The following procedure deletes any custom modifications that you have previously made to the default Vibe definitions. If you want to save any modified definitions before proceeding, you can export the modified definitions. Also, you might want to document exactly what changes you have made in order to make it easier to reconstruct the definition after you reset it. This applies only to definitions that you have modified; definitions that you have created are not affected.

To reset your Vibe definitions:

  1. Log in to the Vibe site as the Vibe administrator.

  2. Click the Settings icon in the upper right corner of the page, then click the Administration Console icon .

  3. In the System section, click Form/View Designers to display the Form and View Designers page.

  4. Click Reset.

    The Reset Definitions page is displayed.

  5. Click Select All.

    You can expand each definition to ensure that all definitions have been selected.

  6. Click OK.

22.4.2 Resetting the Search Index

Search functionality has been improved since Vibe 3.1. For optimal search performance, you need to re-index the search index after you update to Vibe 3.3.

The steps to reset the search index differ depending on whether you have multiple Lucene Index servers. For more information about multiple search indexes, see Section 16.0, Running Multiple Lucene Index Servers.

Depending on the size of your Vibe site, this can be a very time-consuming process.

Resetting a Single Search Index

  1. Log in to the Vibe site as the Vibe administrator.

  2. Click the Settings icon in the upper right corner of the page, then click the Administration Console icon .

  3. In the Management section, click Search Index.

  4. Select Re-Index Everything.

  5. Click OK, then click Close.

    Users can still access the Vibe site during the indexing process, but search results might not be accurate until the index has been completely rebuilt.

    A message notifies you when indexing is complete.

Resetting the Search Index with Multiple Index Servers

22.4.3 Resetting the Standard Templates

IMPORTANT:The following procedure deletes any custom modifications that you have previously made to the default Vibe templates. If you have manually customized any default Vibe templates, back up the files you have modified before performing the interface reset. This applies only to default templates that you have modified; templates that you have created are not affected.
